Modern Author = A Digital Marketing expert & Talented Writer
Long gone are the days, where writer's could recluse and solely focus on writing. Nowadays, in order to succeed as an author you have to maintain a well oiled digital marketing machine.

Although, that may work for some, it can smother you deep in the clutches of a bad habit. -
